About My Clients
I work with individuals (15+), couples, and families who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or impacted by trauma and major life transitions. Many of my clients come in around relationship challenges, parenting stress, substance use concerns, identity exploration, or cross-cultural and immigration experiences. I often support neurodivergent clients and their families, as well as those seeking collaborative, thoughtful, and culturally responsive therapy.
My Background and Approach
My approach is warm, relational, and systemic. I’m interested in the stories people carry—how personal history, relationships, culture, and environment shape emotional life. In our work together, I draw from psychodynamic, person-centered, motivational interviewing, CBT, solution-focused, parts work, EMDR, and Gottman-informed approaches, adapting therapy to fit each client’s needs, pace, and goals. Before practicing as a Marriage and Family Therapist in New York, I worked as a clinical psychologist in Asia and later as a CASAC in the U.S. Those experiences remain central to how I support individuals, couples, and families navigating trauma, substance use, immigration and cross-cultural transitions, parenting stress, intergenerational patterns, and women’s issues. I practice under supervision and value ongoing consultation as part of ethical, reflective, and culturally responsive care.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe healing happens through safe, respectful, and meaningful connection. I hold that people are inherently worthy and carry healthy parts of themselves, and that when therapy offers an affirming and supportive space, those parts can strengthen and support growth. I value cultural humility, curiosity, and honoring the many ways resilience is built through family, community, and identity. I’m particularly interested in how personal history, culture, migration, and intergenerational experiences shape identity and relationships. I work to create an inclusive space where clients—including neurodivergent individuals—feel seen and respected. In substance use treatment, I support both harm-reduction and abstinence-based goals, meeting clients where they are and working collaboratively toward meaningful, sustainable change.
